On motion, it was ordered that 800 copies
Of the bylaws, with standing committees
added, be published for use of the men,
bers.
1t was arranged to have each of the
standing committees meet and formulate
their work as soon as possible and that all
should do so before the next monthly meet
ing of the Executive Committee.
A report was made that two arrests had
been made for non compliance with the
ordinance recently passed concerning signs
over sidewalks, and that others woald be.
aud that the cases would come up in the
| Police Court to-day. The matter was
discussed as to the necessity of
enforcing all laws looking 10 the
improvement of the appearance and
welfare of the city, and spirited approval
of the enforcement Of the ordinance in
question was given. On motion the com
mittee upon signs and distractions to
sidewalks and streets was requested to
give its assistance toward enforcing the
| ordinance in the cases to be before the
Court to-day and the committee was also
authorized to employ special counsel, II
necessary. There can be no question as
to the result in these cases, as the law upon
the subject of the power of the city to pass
such ordinances was clearly and
| conclusiyely shown in the able
decision of Judge Sanderson in
| the Sacramento case of the
| People VS.. Annie Smith, wherein the pow
ers of the city to adopt all police regula-
tons deemed by its Trustees essential to
the welfare of the city, was fully upheld
1t may also be added that the 25th subdi-
vision of Section or Article 1 of the city
charter gives the Board of Trustees ex-
press power 10 regulate the construction o.
